I thought I would never get them treated where they would not run & bleed anymore. It shocked me. I have bought fabric @ Jo Anns and yes, WalMart & they did not bleed. So it is a case that you never know & cannot judge by price. They all felt wonderful. Some from the big box store has felt like cheesecloth. Some not. You will be able to tell by the feel soon.
What was the brand of these fabrics? I'd like to not make the same mistake!
And good brands don't always mean good fabric. I washed a fat quarter of Moda (Christmas fabric) and it shrunk 2 inches!! I was shocked. But the other Moda lines don't shrink, so I think it was just because it was a holiday line. I don't know why that would make a difference, tho. You'd think the company would want to have a good name with all their fabrics. :shock:
